I don't mean THESE new laws, just new laws in general.

There's a difference between making it available, and deliberately causing harm and untold productivity loss in a single day. This was a case of the latter.

Someone deleted a publicly accessible file off the internet, and it broke workflows of people with whom they have no existing contract. Good luck proving that was done to deliberately cause harm.

In this case, they freely admitted to doing it with the intent to harm. A person slapping me in the face doesn’t have a contract with me, but they are still liable for that harm. This isn’t rocket science.
